A member asked:
Why is salicylic acid an ingredient in just regular shampoos? is it dangerous to use? will it make you hair fall out? need some insight,thank you.

Good for scales: Salicylic acid softens keratin, so it smoothes rough skin and helps remove dandruff or scales on the scalp. It is almost the same molecule as aspirin. It is very safe. It does not cause hair loss. Do you have a scalp problem?
